“Booked the half-board option. Good timings, good selection. Great kids corner for food. Lots of play areas and rooms for kids. Room was very spacious, had balcony, Great view. Very quiet. Nothing broken, all working fine. Bathroom could have been cleaner, was a bit dusty on arrival and some strange hairs. Also a bad smell. Was actioned quickly after we mentioned, even on consecutive days. Though the additional cleaning didn't fully get rid of the smell - maybe the old plumbing? Great shower, hot and powerful. Safe and good car parking, even if we had to pay extra. Nice indoor pool, with lots of floating toys.”

“Very Nice hotel. Stayed 3 nights. Large room and good breakfast. A bit hard to get to the hotel on foot or bike due to steep hill, but hey its exercise. Family friendly with lots of intertainment for all ages. A lot of restaurants in Braunlage, but reserve table.”

“We ended up very spontaneously in this hotel but I would recommend this place very much, staff was super friendly, it's maybe 10 min walk to cable car and 10 min walk to bus stop. Room was big enough and clean. Pool made my son very very happy because he didn't expect to see pool there. As someone who for a very long time didn't have a good night sleep because of my bad back and neck I have to say that bed was perfect ( I always have terrible nights in hotels because of bad beds). Overall we love the place and we will for sure come again this summer but this time planned.”
